Now I'm not the only one with the etchings anymore. Did you use my write up to help you out? Looks good! How did you like the etching process?

I understand why you like the Yenko's but that's like a mustang guy putting a "Shelby" logo on his 2002 Mustang because he liked the 60's Shelby mustangs.

Now if you bought your camaro at the Yenko dealership (not sure if it still exits) and they did something special to it after the factory, then that's cool.

I'm not sure I'd like looking through glass that has been shaded like that, but to each his own. Personally, I hate when my windows aren't perfectly clean. I claybar and polish my windows when I clean the car.

Yes I used your writeup. Worked out great. Thanks for giving this cool information. I was very suprised how good it came out. Just had to wait 2 month for the Armor Etch to get shipped over to Germany because I didn´t find it over here.

Just want people to know I believe in american muscle. I am working on getting it as close to a yenko as I can. Someday 427 BBC.

Good idea, but way too big for my tastes. I'd get Z28 etched into the top of the windshield, or maybe a small Z28 in the bottom corner of the door glass.
